Western values are causing mental illness

Western values 'are causing mental illness'From Leo Lewis in Tokyo
THE rapid spread of Western business practices in Japan has caused widespread mental illness and is responsible for a deepening demographic crisis, government officials say.
Statistics indicate that 60 per cent of workers suffer from “high anxiety” and that 65 per cent of companies report soaring levels of mental illness.
Meanwhile, the size of the Japanese population is shrinking, and for the first time the Government has acknowledged that the falling birth rate is linked to job-related factors. Directors of the Japanese Mental Health Institute blame the same factors for rising levels of depression among workers and the country’s suicide rate, which remains the highest among rich nations.
Merit-based pay and promotion are of particular concern because they are at odds with the traditional system, built on seniority, that has reigned supreme in corporate Japan. In the harsh new atmosphere of cut-throat rivalry between workers, the Institute for Population and Social Security argues, young people do not feel financially stable enough to start families.
The trend is put down to Japanese companies’ attempts to globalise by adopting working practices more closely in line with US and British models. Larger numbers of temporary staff, a greater willingness to sack people and greater pay disparities are the downside.


And You Should See What Their Values Are Doing to Us Here
It's not all that suprising that our values aren't good for Japan and Japan's values aren't good for America. Just use that scenario with any country and you can get a picture of the world as it really is, and then a feminist will come on the scene and call you a bigot or some new word which didn't exist a few hours ago and you'll will be made to sit on the stool of repentance because you don't live up to their 'progressive' sentimentality. In their quest to make everyone alike, or just like them, the globalists/feminist/communist/Yankee regimes are highlighting the common bonds we all share, at the point of a gun and economic restrictions. They still don't see that the value that most people have in common is not liking that guy over in that far off land to live next door to you. That's a value that everyone shares, and I don't care how progressive you think you are.
